Nineteen students arrive at the Candanchú school with the same goal: to become mountain rescuers. The demands are maximum and their instructors will only tolerate excellence. For nine months we will continue their training as lifeguards in the most spectacular mountain locations, with landscapes as incredible as those of the Pyrenees, Picos de Europa or the French Alps.
In the heart of Spain lies the Pyrenean High Performance Center, home to some of the most promising athletes in the country. This is where ambition meets pressure; where dreams are forged and rivalries ignite. Welcome to "Olympo," a thrilling new series that blends drama, mystery, romance, and sport into an unforgettable viewing experience. With its intricately woven storylines and relatable characters, this show invites viewers on a journey through the highs and lows of athletic life while exploring deeper themes of loyalty, friendship, and sacrifice.
The first season introduces us to a colorful cast of characters led by Clara Galle as Amaia. Known for her roles in other hit series like "Raising Voices" and "The Boarding School: Las Cumbres," Galle portrays a fiercely competitive athlete who pushes her limits in pursuit of greatness. Alongside her is María Romanillos as Núria—a character whose struggles highlight the emotional toll that competition can take on young athletes. The choice to include such dynamic personalities provides depth to the storyline while keeping audiences engaged from episode to episode.
As we delve into Season 1's eight episodes, we witness Amaia's journey unfold against a backdrop of intense training regimens and sponsorship deals offered by Olympo—one of Spain's leading sports organizations. From igniting rivalries upon newcomer Zoe’s arrival at the center (as depicted in Episode 1) to grappling with guilt over Núria's well-being (seen in Episode 2), every moment is laced with tension that keeps you on the edge of your seat. The writers skillfully balance these dramatic elements with moments of levity—like Zoe's unexpected hook-up at a house party—which adds layers to their characters' lives outside athletics.
